    I had the privilege of working with Joyce on a daily basis for 4 years. She was a special blessing to me during that time and for several years after. She was hard working and a pleasure to work with. Her family was her life and she was proud of you all. To her children, I would say you have lost your greatest cheerleader and encourager. To Brad, you brought her great joy, she often talked of you with great admiration and of the joy that you brought her. To her siblings, she often spoke of her care for you and your families. I know you may not have gotten to spend much time with her but she spoke of you often and I know were always in her thoughts. My prayers, Paige Guinn Freeman
